Q: Can you comment on Visa’s announcement about removing restrictions on its class B shares? I really have no idea what this means and how it impacts the class A shares owned by the public. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i Team,

I'm creating TFSAs for my two children, and I would like to purchase a basket of 15-20 Canadian stocks and CIBC CDRs, since their accounts are commission-free.

Could you please recommend some names for me to consider with a focus on growth while maintaining some sector diversity.

Would you recommend adding a global ETF for geographical diversity? If so, what?

Feel free to subtract as many credits as you see fit.

Thanks, as always, for your helpful advice.

Q: Hi Folks,
In my TFSA I can only top up ATD or VISA to a full position at this time. Both are up considerably, all things being equal, may I have your opinion as to which one would be best topped up today.
Thanks,

Q: Master or Visa ?

Q: Hi Team,
For an 18 year old who just opened their TFSA and starting with $6500, what stocks or ETFs (CDN and/or US) would you start with? There are no trading fees so there is no worry to buy 10 names if that is the best way forward.
Thanks

Q: Hello, it would seem that AXP has experienced a pullback and looks undervalued compared to its peers. Would you consider AXP a buy over MA and/or V ?

Q: The media occasionally references buying "Dogs of the Dow". Do you know if any comparative analysis has been done of the better Dow stocks which may be termed "Stars of the Dow"? If so, is there any guidance to be suggested? I think 5i favours buying "winners" rather than "losers". Thank you for your always well-reasoned comments.

Q: Hi Folks,
I would like to add either Apple or Visa to my RRSP account for a long term hold (buy and forget it). Which would be the better one to add at this time?
Thanks

Q: I manage my son's TFSA and have just sold his NVDA shares at a 200% profit. Many thanks for 5i's excellent advice on this purchase! He needs the money next year and I felt - after a good run - it was time to play it safe and cash in. I would now like to reinvest the funds in a less volatile stock - in any sector - that still has reasonable growth prospects over the next year. CSU comes to mind (and I know you're a big fan). MSFT and GOOG already owned. What would be your top three choices for replacing NVDA - Canadian or US? Thank you,

Q: Please rank these equities in order of preference for a combination of income and capital growth in a taxable account. Thanks!

Q: Hi folks,
I am looking to add 3 of CSU, AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL or VISA for some growth to my otherwise conservative RRSP portfolio. May I have your top 3 recommendations at this time that could add some "zip" to my RRSP account. Looking at a 10 year time frame.
Thanks,

Q: Could you give me your recommendations for the 10 best US medium or large cap companies that pay small or no dividends, this time excluding IT companies? Thanks for your great service.

Q: For a TFSA if you could pick a few value stocks that have good balance sheets and maybe provide a “margin of safety” if we did have a recession, but also show some promising upside in the medium term if the stars align what would they be? (I’m agnostic on sector and cap size, US or Canada)
Thank you

Q: Good afternoon,

Could you please pass on your thesis for owning Visa-noting in past posts you mentioned a "duopoly "of payment systems.

Thank you

Q: Good afternoon - I’m overweight in big tech in my TFSA and am planning to do some rebalancing. I’m looking for some non-tech suggestions please. Either US or Canada are fine.

Thanks!
